Wear or Die: One extreme or the other?

For today’s game of Wear or Die we thought we’d show you some extremes of style, and find out which side you’d come down on, assuming that you absolutely had to choose one or die. On the left of the picture above, then, you’ll see Peggy Noland’s ‘Missbehave’ leggings (yes, the text says “Missbehave”, in case you were wondering), while on the right is a Victorian nightgown, whoops, we mean dress, by Comme des Garcons.

Which will you choose to wear, though? Will you “missbehave” in the leggings (and before you ask, no, you may not wear something over the top of them to cover them up – the leggings must be on show at all times!) or will you behave a little too well in the nightgown dress? Tell us in the comments!

I kind of love that Comme des Garcon dress, lol. Seriously, I’d unbutton most of the skirt, wear some long socks and doc martens, throw on a leather jacket, aviators, and maybe a knit hat…you’d have a very dramatic look.

Lol! We wrote about black leggings last week and almost all comments were to the effect that ALL leggings are wrong in ALL circumstances, and no one should ever wear them. Then we post about really loud ones with writing all over them, and everyone loves them. Can’t win 🙂

Leggings, I guess. At least my ample curves would all be in proportion with each other. The dress would make me look like a shoebox — the black band is positioned to perfectly accent my round hips, while the rest of the dress would make my hourglass waist disappear.

Oh lord, you’re merciless. I just imagined that dress actually worn, and now I’m gonna have nightmares about it for weeks. As hideous as they undoubtedly are, I’ll have to go with the leggings. Some sort of a punk outfit. Maybe I’d make a huge mohawk to divert people’s attention.

I have actually liked a lot of Victorian inspired fashion, but I find that particular example to be very ugly and probably pretty unflattering when worn. And the leggings…
I can’t seem to choose the lesser of two evils on this one, so I may have to default to death!

Leggings, but that´s easy i spend most of my time taking dancing class, or teaching dancing class, or reahearsing dance, (see a pattern here?) and honestly, when it comes to dance wear i´ve seen worse, way way worse.

Leggings, definitely. Although the leggings are excessively loud, they’re not as bad as the terribly frumpy dress. Ick. That black band can’t do much to flatter anyone. I’d just wear the leggings with some kind of 80s-punk flair that I wouldn’t pull off. But that’s okay. :]

Definitely leggings. That dress is just… no.
Since I can’t wear anything over them, I guess I’ll just dress like one of those slutty 12-year-old girls and wear them with some high top sneakers and a long black t-shirt.

If I had skinnier legs, I’d go for the leggings with some sort of oversized sweater (in the same pink as the stars) with a vest underneath, maybe some legwarmers too.
But I can’t, so I’d…
*lightbulb*
unbutton the skirt of the dress, wear the leggings underneath and wear a lot of bright pink necklaces and fabric belts? It could work, right? or is that just my insane imagination not working for me?

The leggings = disgusting. Even with a skirt over them, just NO. I would take the dress. but i would unbutton most of the buttons on the bottom, roll the bottom hem up to my knees (I would have to anyway because I am very short), pin/sew the hem there, unbutton some of the top buttons, put a blue low cut shirt under it, put on bright red leggings, multicolored knee socks, and black almost-to-the-knee boots. Oh yeah, and I would rip off the bow and attach it to a bracelet. So, for me anyway, I would consider that a fairly eccentric take on a presentable outfit. Which is okay in my books.

I personally have this weird crazy obsession with tights and leggings. i really love the leggins…their kind of punkish, emo cute…in a weird way. they’re random. im short so the dress would be a fail for me, unless i totally funk it up, which i can 🙂
